Well first I will say.. do not worry too much.. You are only 5 days late. You first need to take a pregnancy test to see if it's a late because of pregnancy or just arriving late.
Second.. The "pull-out" method is not a good method... He may very well pull out.. and you can still can get pregnant from pre-cum.. it is not as likely as if he did ejaculate inside of you, but it can lead to pregnancy. so if you are planning on not having a child yet... use other forms of contraceptives or abstaind from sex.

He's the other half of this union and relationship. I think you need his emotional support to get through this stressfully anxious time. Make him step up to the plate, girl. He'll think twice next time, he promises to 'pull out' in time. Perhaps he'll agree to wearing a condom? He does need to know whether this is a scare or not.

In any case, you should get a pregnancy test, that until you do there is not much else you can do.

Did you know that if you're are stressed (no matter what you are stressed of) your period could delay. Sometimes eating certain foods or having excess excersise could delay your period also. Girl and if you are pregnant, tell your boyfriend right away. It takes two to tango and its his responsibility also and its not fair that you have to stress this on your own just cause he's away or whatever. If you arent, tell him that you want birth control next time or he isnt going to lay a finger on you. LOL.

Go buy yourself a test and if it's positive give him the news. If you're not pregnant get some form of reliable contraception there's enough to chhose from, really no need for unplanned pregnancies these days!
Most certainly don't rely on his ability to "pull out" you'll definately end up pregnant!
Good luck, and protect yourself!

Tell him what exactly? That you're late? Just get a test, see if you're pregnant. Worry can make you even later so know for sure. It takes 2 so whether or not he 'said he'd pull out', is not relevant....men can get carried away, they can lose control, they think they can stop but then it happens sooner than expected. YOU have to take some responsibility, it's your body. Either find an alternative method of contraception or don't trust that "I'll pull out" will actually happen (unintentionally or otherwise). p.s "he doesn't need the stress", what's that all about? Neither do YOU! Tell him if you want but get on with the test, for YOUR sake.
